Ariens Snowblower
Don’t Get Caught in the Snow
First it was a train; then it was a truck. Since its origin in the 1800s, the snow blower has seen many transformations and improvements. Originally developed to clear farm land for grazing livestock, the snow blower quickly became a household item. And, the Ariens Snowblower quickly rose above the rest.
Single and double stage snow blowers are offered by the Ariens Corporation. All are gas operated and equipped with tires that grab without the use of chains. This means your driveways and pathways will experience less damage or destruction typically associated with chain usage. This one particular feature receives high rankings from many Ariens Snowblower users. If leaves or a light dusting of snow is what you need to take care of, the Ariens Snowblower also has a Power Brush that will take the effort out of both jobs.
The eight horse powered models are highly popular and, from a performance standpoint, have the best track record. One of the more popular eight horse powered models is the 824E. Complete with a Tecumseh Snow King L-Head engine, this model has several forward and reverse options, six speeds forward and a two speed reverse. The Ariens Snowblower has two inches on most competitors at 14 rather than the traditional 12. The additional two inches allows the Ariens Snowblower to quickly cut through and clear a larger amount of snow.
An Ariens Snowblower is easy to maneuver and at 15 inches wide, the tires are tough, durable and have the ability to add traction when needed. Large and powerful enough to cut a 24 inch swath these machines provide the performance and ability to make short work of clearing freshly fallen snow.
For individuals living in regions that typically experience a large amount of snow, the 842E can cut clearing time in half. With an ability to throw snow close to 50 feet, this blower is worth a look. The shoot can be modified, creating a rotation of 200 degrees. Eliminate the pulling and tugging with an electric start and clear the chute with a specific clearing device; both electric start and chute device are standard equipment. For uneven terrains, a drift cutter and a kit for adding weight toward the front are available options.
Another popular Ariens Snowblower is the Sno-Tek® line. This particular line of blowers comes complete with a 208 cc engine. Available in a 22, 24 and 26 series model, that will clear 22, 24 and 26 inch paths respectively, each has six forward speeds and two reverse speeds. If space is a consideration, the Compact Sno-Thro® is a good choice. The handles fold down to maximize small storage space and the 205 cc engine has no problem cutting through the snow.
If you’re looking for something with a little more power the 324 cc Sno-Thro® Pros will fit the bill. This popular model is complete with hand warmers and controls that automatically handle traction, this series of Ariens Snowblower has the capacity to clear anywhere between 26 to 36 inches.
Dubbed the “King of Snow,” Ariens has been producing the Ariens Snowblower for more than 75 years. Reliable and durable, the Ariens Snowblower far out lasts its three-year warranty. Also known as the workhorse of the industry, the Ariens Snowblower will continue to perform year after year.
